Corrupt Display properties of EDITING PLANE

[Anonymous]

I have just noticed that my EDITING PLANE properties have changed; color (to white) and transparency = 0. When adjusting back to desired display via "Grids & Background" it displays correctly while in the 3D window. If I then F2 (plan view) and F5 (3D window) the EP properties are reset again to white with no transparency.

AC15
Win 7 64bit
i7 930
12GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5970 - Driver: 8.850.0.0
(No graphic other drivers installed other than the W7 default - had problems with the ATI suite & AC15)
2D Drawing Antialiasing DISABLED (black fill screen issues otherwise)

Update: Patched the problem by re-assigning the F5 key (delete global and assign F5).
Question is: Why?

Hi,
Try to reset the Grid & Background to default by:
1. Open 3D window, From menu, select "View" -> "Grid options" -> "Grids & Background.."
2. Change your setting according to default (use attached image for reference)

This happens in AC16 if you hit either F3 or F5 and continues to happen even when you re-assign the shortcuts.

No such thing on mine 5 years old PC!

I found this ancient thread because I have the same issues with "Grid Background Opacity". It is continuously resetting itself to white color with no opacity. I does not matter if I use the F5 key or use the right-click-palette to show selection in 3D.

I'm working with ArchiCAD 16 Build:3827 with an old AC15-library.

Please advise Graphisoft..

Marton Kiss of Technical Support replied about this bug a couple of days ago here:
http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=219617#219617

although the poster in that thread was using AC 17.

You might contact your technical support as Graphisoft might request your file to try to track down why this is happening.
